Mishnah Menachot 3:4: If the remainder of the grain offering became unclean or was burnt or lost: According to the rule of Rabbi Eliezer it is valid; according to the rule of Rabbi Joshua it is invalid. If [he did] not [put the handful] into a ministering vessel it is invalid; Rabbi Shimon declares it valid. If he burnt the handful twice [i.e., in two batches], it is valid.

נטמאו שיריה, נשרפו שיריה, אבדו שיריה, כמדת רבי אליעזר: כשרה, וכמדת רבי יהושע: פסולה. שלא בכלי שרת, פסולה. רבי שמעון מכשיר. הקטיר קמצה פעמים, כשרה.

Mishnah Menachot 3:5: Regarding the handful: the [absence of the] smallest part invalidates the whole. Regarding the tenth [of flour for the grain offering] the [absence of the] smallest part invalidates the whole. Regarding the wine [libation which accompanies the grain offering] the [absence of the] smallest part invalidates the whole. Regarding the oil [which is mixed in with the grain offering] the [absence of the] smallest part invalidates the whole. Regarding the flour and the oil, the [absence of] one invalidates the other. Regarding the handful and the frankincense, the [absence of] one invalidates the other.

הקמץ, מעוטו מעכב את רבו. העשרון, מעוטו מעכב את רבו. היין, מעוטו מעכב את רבו. השמן, מעוטו מעכב את רבו. הסלת והשמן מעכבין זה את זה. הקמץ והלבונה מעכבין זה את זה.
